Don't you want to be fully prepared when entering college? Where are you going to go? What is going to be your major? Do you have everything under control and all of your paperwork ready to go? So many things you must consider when preparing for college, and you need to keep reading!
If you need money for college, you should consider applying for federal financial aid and scholarships. Visit the FAFSA website and follow the application process to get access to federal funding or grants. If you are denied federal funding, apply for different scholarships related to the subject you want to study.
Are you under a lot of pressure for a certain class you are not sure you will pass? You should talk to your academic adviser or to your instructor about credit no credit. Most schools will let you take one class where you will get credit but your grade will not impact your GPA.
Don't select courses based on whether or not they seem easy. Instead, opt for courses that you find interesting and relevant to your needs. Stretching yourself has its rewards. You learn more from harder classes and you make more ambitious friends.
If you cannot decide between multiple majors, take the introductory classes in each one. Through these classes, you can get an idea of which one is for you. By taking a variety of core classes, you can easily switch between two different majors with only a few extra courses.
Use statistics to narrow down your college choices, but not to make the final decision. The right college for you is a good match to you personally, not a prize that you win. Never select a school because a lot of your friends are going there, nor because it holds a number-one position on some published list. Only a visit to the campus can really tell you if it is right.
Prior to classes beginning, email your professor to find out which textbooks you will need for your class. Once you know what you need, rent your textbooks instead of purchasing them. This is a newer, but popular option that allows you to borrow textbooks for a semester for a much smaller fee than it would cost you to purchase them.
Get plenty of sleep. It may be tempting to stay up all night "cramming" for exams, but this is not a good idea. It's been proven that students who get the proper amount of sleep do better on exams. This is because they are more alert and attentive when taking tests.
Carefully consider each purchase, big and small. If you are paying for tuition with student loans, paying them off should be your top priority. Don't waste your money on pizza, clothing and entertainment--at least not all of it. Sock away as much as possible to repay those loans. Otherwise, you will be swimming in even more debt by the time you graduate.
Don't go home every weekend even if you live close by. Part of the college experience involves learning to live away from your parents, for the most part. Limit visits to school vacations so that you can immerse yourself in campus life and get used to being independent of your parents.
To help you be successful in college talk with graduates from the college. This can include friends and family members. They will be able to offer advice such as which courses you should take and which ones are unnecessary. By employing the help of those who have attended the college you are going to, you can rest assured they will steer you in the right direction.
College is an experience that you will take with you throughout your life. Make sure you utilize the information you've read here as you get started planning your college years. This is a time in which you explore all of your options and continue to learn more about who you are as a person.
